SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paul McCartney will perform a benefit concert October 1 at the Tobin
Center for the Performing Arts, topping off a month-long grand
opening celebration for the new $203 million performing arts center
located in the heart of downtown San Antonio. In his first San
Antonio appearance since 1993, McCartney and his band will perform in
The Tobin Center’s 1,750-seat H-E-B Performance Hall as a fundraising
event for the new venue. Ticketing information is available by calling
The Tobin Center’s development office at 210-223-8624.

“To have Paul McCartney, the single most iconic musician, singer and
songwriter in the world, perform as part of our grand opening
celebration is special in so many ways,” said J. Bruce Bugg Jr.,
Chairman of the Bexar County Performing Arts Center Foundation, which
owns and operates The Tobin Center. “It is very rare for Paul McCartney
to perform in a theater setting instead of a large arena or stadium.
This will be a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity for people attending
this concert to see and hear this incredible musician in the intimacy of
The Tobin Center with its world-class acoustics.”

“It is a real coup for us to be able to bring Paul McCartney to San
Antonio,” said Michael Fresher, President and CEO of The Tobin
Center. “His appearance at The Tobin will complete essentially a full
month of performers and events which will demonstrate the versatility of
The Tobin Center and its three performance spaces. The diversity of
performers which we are booking into the facility is fully in keeping
with our theme of ‘something for everyone.’”

The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts opens September 4. In addition
to the H-E-B Performance Hall, the theater complex features the 250-seat
Carlos Alvarez Studio Theater and the 600-seat River Walk Plaza for
outdoor performances and events. The Tobin Center, designed by LMN and
Marmon Mok Architects, will serve as a dazzling architectural treasure
for San Antonio’s downtown landscape. With its state-of-the-art
acoustics and cutting edge design, The Tobin Center will instantly rank
as one of the best places, anywhere, to see and hear a live performance.
